An audible count is only permitted when you ensure the count is understood by all. For example, one, uno, hana, eins, un; two, dos, dool, zwei, deux; three, tres, sae, drei, trois; etc....
I have found it best to take the microphone from the announcer guy and poll the audience to ensure you have all languages covered, then ask GM to advise you if anyone enters the gym after your announcement that would require an additional language to be verbally represented.
